Differences in ventricular wall composition may explain inter-patient variability in the ECG response to variations in serum potassium and calcium
Objective: Chronic kidney disease patients have a decreased ability to maintain normal electrolyte concentrations in their blood, which increases the risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Non-invasive monitoring of serum potassium and calcium concentration, [K+] and [Ca2+], can...
